Families throughout the Studio City region share their experience with our licensed, insured team.
We manage a hillside apartment building in Burbank, and when the shower drains started backing up throughout the building, it quickly turned into an emergency. We searched for a plumber near me and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and they responded fast. They were professional, calm, and clearly experienced with multi-unit drain issues. They performed a thorough emergency drain cleaning, explained what was causing the backup, and made sure everything was flowing properly before leaving. The team was respectful to tenants and worked efficiently to minimize disruption. It’s a huge relief knowing we have a reliable Burbank plumber we can call when problems affect an entire building. Fast response, honest service, and quality work. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how stressful it can be when a plumbing issue affects an entire apartment building, especially in a hillside property where drain systems can be more complex. We’re glad our team was able to respond quickly, identify the cause of the backup, and get everything flowing properly again while minimizing disruption for your tenants. Providing fast, reliable emergency service and clear communication is something we take seriously. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation, and we’re always here if you need us in the future. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing
Didn’t realize Drip Too Hard Plumbing had just opened their new Burbank location, but they treated me like a longtime customer from day one. I was searching for a plumber in Burbank after my sewer line suddenly backed up and flooded part of the yard. Erik and his team answered right away, showed up that same morning, and handled the emergency sewer line repair quickly and professionally. Their communication was excellent — they explained the problem, showed me the footage from their camera inspection, and kept me updated through every step. You can tell they take pride in their work and care about their customers. If you ever need a Burbank plumber who’s honest, fast, and delivers top-tier customer service, I can’t recommend them enough.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re proud to be serving the Burbank community and appreciate you trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your sewer line repair.

I own several rental properties in Glendale and have used Drip Too Hard Plumbing multiple times for water heater repairs, sewer line replacements, and general plumbing maintenance. Erik and his team are the real deal -- fast, professional, and respectful to both me and my tenants. It's hard finding a Glendale plumber who actually communicates clearly, but these guys keep me updated every step of the way. They handled a tough sewer line repair in Glendale and made sure everything was code-compliant before wrapping up. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable plumbing company in Glendale that you can actually count on. Great value and peace of mind for the price!!

What Studio City Homeowners Call Us About
Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Studio City.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Studio City homes built in the 1950s-1960s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard LADWP water accelerates this corrosion, causing low water pressure and rusty water throughout neighborhoods like Woodbridge Park and Colfax Meadows.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Studio City's mature landscaping and established trees create ongoing sewer line challenges, particularly in older neighborhoods near Ventura Boulevard. Root intrusion is especially problematic for homes with original cast iron sewer lines from the post-war building boom.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
The moderately hard water from LADWP causes significant sediment buildup in Studio City water heaters. This is particularly common in the area's ranch-style homes where original water heaters may have decades of mineral accumulation causing loud operational noises.
Unexplained increase in water bills
Learn more
Hidden leaks are common in Studio City's post-war tract homes, often occurring in under-slab copper pipes or aging galvanized connections. The valley's stable soil helps hide these leaks until they become significant, resulting in mysterious water bill spikes for homeowners.
